Coinfloor is a London-based bitcoin exchange.〔 Established in early 2013 with the aim of creating the world's most reputable and trustworthy digital currency exchange. The company is focused on security and is known for being the first exchange to store all bitcoins in 100% multi-signature cold storage〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Coinfloor Blog )〕 and employing procedures to deter money laundering amidst the lack of government regulation.〔 In addition to its commitment to user security and user asset protection, Coinfloor is also the first exchange to employ a sophisticated algorithmic rounding engine for fee calculation - making its exchange the most favourable for high frequency and professional traders in the world.〔 At the same time, Coinfloor has been developed to be intuitive and easy to use for even a casual bitcoin enthusiast and first-time trader. By allowing direct conversion between bitcoins and the British Pound (Sterling), it also aims to reduce the inconvenience of a two-step conversion that people holding Sterling used to have to go through.〔 The start-up was founded by Mark Lamb, Amadeo Pellicce, and James McCarthy. In October 2013, the company announced raising an undisclosed amount of venture capital funding from Passion Capital and Taavet Hinrikus,〔 co-founder of TransferWise and the first employee at Skype.〔 ==The People== Coinfloor is a tight team of developers and business partners with experience in bitcoin, security, analytics and financial services. Most of the team is based in London, England. One of its founders was James McCarthy (aka Nefario) who was previously the founder of Global bitcoin Stock Exchange, which controversially shut down in October 2012.〔 McCarthy stepped down as CTO of the company in December 2013〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Coinfloor Blog )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Reddit )〕 and Obi Nwosu,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=LinkedIn Profile )〕 previously CTO at QXL, ebookers.com and WeeWorld was appointed as the new CTO.
